Government Transparency

Introduction

This phrase has been thrown around the forum quite a bit - I'm not really sure what it's about, but if anyone has any suggestions, please let them be known. --Duke 15:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Votes

Here is a list of votes that I feel need to be taken by the party members. --Duke 18:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

4.1 Pulbic Say in new legislation

To what extent should the public have a say in any new legislation? The vote would not necessarily have to be binding; perhaps with the legislation only being blocked if a certain percentage voted against it.

1. Full public vote on any new legislation.
2. Full public vote on any new legislation dealing with certain issues (such as occurs in the US with votes on certain "Propositions" being included in election ballots or occurred with the proposed EU Constitution).
3. Sampled public vote on all new legislation.
4. Sampled public vote on some issues.
5. No public vote required.
6. More debate needed.

4.2 Open Government

Should the public have access to the minutes of official Government meetings?

1. Minutes of all meetings published (apart from 'sensitive' details, to be defined later).
2. Minutes of meetings of the most senior officials published.
3. Minutes of all meetings available on official request (something like FoI requests, but with punishments for non-compliance and easier for the general public to make).
4. Minutes of meetings of senior officials available on request.
5. No minutes required to be available.
6. More debate needed.
